Mushroom Removal from liverock

I want to get some Mushrooms out of my tank without removing rock. Is this possible? Will Kalkwasser concentrate kill them like Aiptasia?

you can always scrape them off with a razor blade. If you get under the base and work at it a bit they'll usually pop off with alot less mess as they can start to slime pretty bad when you start to pull and mess with them. If there is any little bit left on the rock they'll be back though.

If you kill them they will dissolve/rot. Why do you want to remove them?...Too crowded? To remove completely this is what I would do. As mentioned by treehugger, cut them at the base a close as possible. The remaining tissue can be brushed off with a stiff toothbrush while simultaneously sucking out the debris with a siphon hose during a water change.

yes way to many of them - 7 years worth 1/4 of 215. I was thinkng of a shot of Kalk to the mounth might get them to let go...I will not let them rot - that would be a major problem in my damn near perfect prams tank!

You could frag and sell them...
